Had a bit of a scare, this morning. One of the kittens was missing. I thought mom was moving them

Then I saw little Tegan AND heard mom, so hopefully she's going to keep the here.

I put Tudor with his siblings but will keep an eye on things. He runs to me when he hears me approach so I'll do a lot of observing through a window.

The one decision I've made is, if she DOES start to move them, he's not going. I just have zero trust in her desire to care for him. I wish you could really see and appreciate how tiny he is - much smaller than his siblings. If there would be a repeat of what happened earlier this week, he would not make it.

1. Yes, keep an eye on him, and take him in soon.

2. He just climbed into the shelter. Mom is nursing one or two of the babies

I'm going to be ready with food for him, in case she is in the process of rejecting him.

It looks like I'm not going to get much done, today, save for watching over Tudor.

3. Poor little almost-orphan.

Please save him!

4. I know you already have a full house, but I do hope you take the little guy in.

I think it would be less stressful on you if you didn't have to worry about him so much. Good luck in whichever way you decide to go!

5. Thank you for taking such good care of the little ones. We do see how tiny he

is, sweet little guy.

6. Those little ones really grab your heart

When we rounded up some kittens years ago to be neutered and released Tiger was the tiniest kitten, that’s how he got his name. All the others have dispersed. He’s the one that stuck around all these years, he was here again last night and I expect to see him tonight. He’s still feral but he lets me pet him. And he responds when I talk to him. Sounds like Tudor Is a keeper!

7. I was hoping to have him spend more time with his sisters

but I'm tipping towards taking him in. I don't know - maybe a little bit of my spirit went in to him when I was working to revive him. He certainly does seem to have bonded with me.

8. Make like a little teapot and tip right over, pour love right out. He has your heart already.

9. I am watching for his mom to leave so I can bring some goat milk and pate to the kittens

I'm just not at all confident that she's nursing him. And it's dipping into the 40's tonight so I'll be keeping a really close eye on him, as the sun sets.

And, yes, I do have a special bond with that little miracle. I guess we 'imprinted' on each other.
